Benefits of the Foundation Program

\n

The benefits
of studying and practicing these texts are as follows:

\n

Joyful Path of Good
Fortune – we gain the ability to put all Buddha’s teachings of both S
utra and Tantra into practice. We can easily make progress on and complete
the stages of the path to the supreme happiness of enlightenment. From a
practical point of view\, the Stages of the Path is the main body of Buddha’s teachi
ngs\, and the other teachings are like its limbs.

Heart of Wisdom – we gain a rea
lization of the ultimate nature of reality. By gaining this realization we
can eliminate the ignorance of self-grasping\, which is the root of all o
ur suffering.

\n

Meaningful to Behold – we transform our daily activities into t
he Bodhisattva’s way of life\, thereby making every moment of our human li
fe meaningful.

\n

Understanding the Mind – we understand the relationship betw
een our mind and its external objects. If we understand that objects depen
d upon the subjective mind\, we can change the way objects appear to us by
changing our own mind. Gradually we shall gain the ability to control our
mind and in this way solve all our problems.
